First Minister Vaughan Gething also urged reductions in gas standing charges to alleviate cost-of-living pressures.

Report first recorded Oct 28, 07:25
Welsh Finance Minister Elin Jones has called on Chancellor John Healey to allocate extra funding for railways and public services in Wales ahead of the UK Budget on Wednesday. Plaid Cymru ministers argue that increased spending on English public services, which are devolved to Wales, could trigger additional funding for the country. Jones also requested the early release of £1bn from a £14bn long-term rail funding commitment and warned the upcoming settlement could be the worst for the Welsh government since the Covid-19 pandemic.
